Chapter 4: Q7DQ (page 911)

A charged particle moves through a region of space with constant velocity (magnitude and direction). If the external magnetic field is zero in this region, can you conclude that the external electric field in the region is also zero? Explain. (By 鈥渆xternal鈥� we mean fields other than those produced by the charged particle.) If the external electric field is zero in the region, can you conclude that the external magnetic field in the region is also zero?

Short Answer

Expert verified

We can conclude that the electric field also equals zero. We cannot make a conclusion concerning whether the magnetic field is also zero in this case.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Lorentz force

The force exerted on a charged particle q moving with velocity v through an electric field E and magnetic field B. The entire electromagnetic force F on the charged particle is called Lorentz force and is given byF鈫�=q(E鈫�+v鈫�脳B鈫�)

02

Determine if magnetic field is zero, whether electric field is also zero

The particle will move in the described way only if

F鈫�=0鈫�

If B鈫�=0鈫�, thenB鈫�=qE鈫�=0

which is possible only ifE鈫�=0鈫�

Hence, we can conclude that the electric field is also zero.

03

Determine if electric field is zero, whether magnetic field is also zero

If E鈫�=0鈫�, thenF鈫�=qv鈫�脳B鈫�=0鈫�

and this can happen ifB鈫�=0鈫� or when is perpendicular to v鈫�.

Hence, we cannot make a conclusion concerning whether magnetic field is also zero in this case.

Question: A 1500-W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120-V circuit that has a 20-A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hair dryer into the same outlet. The hair dryer has power settings of 600 W, 900 W, 1200 W, and 1500 W. You start with the hair dryer on the 600-W setting and increase the power setting until the circuit breaker trips. What power setting caused the breaker to trip?

A 10.0cm long solenoid of diameter 0.400 cm is wound uniformly with 800 turns. A second coil with 50 turns is wound around the solenoid at its center. What is the mutual inductance of the combination of the two coils?

In Europe the standard voltage in homes is 220 V instead of the 120 used in the United States. Therefore a 鈥�100-W鈥� European bulb would be intended for use with a 220-V potential difference (see Problem 25.36). (a) If you bring a 鈥�100-W鈥� European bulb home to the United States, what should be its U.S. power rating? (b) How much current will the 100-W European bulb draw in normal use in the United States?

Displacement Current in a Dielectric. Suppose that the parallel plates in Fig. 29.23 have an area of 3.00 cm2 and are separated by a 2.50-mm-thick sheet of dielectric that completely fills the volume between the plates. The dielectric has dielectric constant 4.70. (You can ignore fringing effects.) At a certain instant, the potential difference between the plates is 120 V and the conduction current iC equals 6.00 mA. At this instant, what are (a) the charge q on each plate; (b) the rate of change of charge on the plates; (c) the displacement current in the dielectric?

BIO Transmission of Nerve Impulses. Nerve cells transmit electric

signals through their long tubular axons. These signals propagate due to a

sudden rush of Na+ions, each with charge +e, into the axon. Measurements

have revealed that typically about 5.6脳1011Na+ions enter each meter of the

axon during a time of . What is the current during this inflow of charge

in a meter of axon?
